Warning: As soon as the light golden syrupy liquid forms, drop in the apples immediately. Do not delay (like I did fiddling with the camera), otherwise the syrup will crystallize and form a sticky hard chunk like toffee, and its difficult to work with that. You have to dissolve it again and use it.

Drop in the apple wedges and mix it up, till the caramel coats the apple pieces.

Cover and cook till the apples release their juices and become tender and everything is one gooey golden sweet smelling mess.

Grease and flour your cake tray, then line the bottom of the tray with this apple caramel mixture.

In a bowl add maida, baking powder, salt and the remaining butter and sugar.

Add 1/2 cup milk and mix it up well, till you get a smooth batter...

This batter tastes awesome by the way...

Add the vanilla essence and drop in the egg, then beat the mixture up again.

Pour the batter above the apple caramel mix and place the tray in the oven. Bake till the surface turns slightly brown and cracks... should take bout 30 to 40 minutes.

Isn't this nice.... evenly browned and cracked. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down.

Slowly run a knife round the edges of the pan and flip it onto a plate. Ta daaaa.... This gorgeous cake is so good, the caramelized apples melt in your mouth and for an even richer experience try eating this cake with vanilla ice cream... simply scrumptious!

This cake is really good, I will definitely be making it again soon and I hope you will too. Have fun baking, eating and living.

You know what? I usually decide whether I will make a particular recipe or not, based on the danger quotient!! i.e. danger of me messing up the recipe, food, my kitchen, various appliances, and the digestive systems of my family :(

In that way, I think this one is worth taking the risk! It looks easy enough for a person who has made a total of 1 (ONE) brownie in her entire life .... :P HAHAH!

So, long story short, I will *WILL* try this.

Thanks for the recipe. Really good pictures, by the way! In my opinion, 80% of the value of a food post lies in the pictures - if we can't eat it, at least we can stare, right? :P And your pics are great!

Jane, hehe... your comments are very entertaining. Name told me bout the brownies, waiting to see them on your blog. My pictures may be great, but I worry bout my camera... one of these days I am going to drop it in a curry or something, will just rename the dish then digital chicken cybershot masala. Hahaha... I crack myself up.

Very much thankful to u v nice and easy to follow...will make it for sure....Also plz help me how to prepare chicken biriyani and what is the side dish for chicken biriyani? also i ll try to buy maida as its not available in US :( thank u v much dear

Hey Archana, in the US its called All Purpose Flour, its a mixture of Maida and Baking powder, that is what they use for cakes. And will out up the recipes you asked for when I make them. Nice to see you here by the way :)

Nam, I would have written some smart ass comment here for you, but since you are trying to bake this, I shall refrain.

Apples: Haven't you ever been to a fruit market and seen apples in varying sizes? Big large shiny red imported ones, the medium okay looking ones and then the really small ones.

Maida & Sugar, use any cup... but the same cup should be used for all the ingredients. If you use a larger cup then you will get more batter, a smaller cup will give you less batter. As long as the ratio of the ingredients is maintained the cake will turn out good.

tried the cake yesterday, and guess what? it was the first cake that survived the dustbin dump.. It turned out just great with everyone eating hands full of it!!! all credits to you!! thanks a bunch..............!

The last few months of 2016 were crazy in so many ways. First there was the money issue (when the higher denomination notes lost their value overnight) which created a mess of economic proportions. The insane queues at banks and ATM's and all the scrambling that was happening to make sense of it all, made November quite memorable. Around the same time, Trump came out victorious which I thought was pretty hilarious... a sort of validation that people are the same everywhere, based on who we elected here. Anyway, after the chaos of November, December came with her own brand of drama. I heard of Cyclone Nada, but I was busy in Nagercoil then enjoying a birthday party...Even that was fun, surprising the birthday girl who did not know that I was at the airport with dad. She walks up and down and I'm hiding behind the newspaper pretending to read it, then I see Manoj by her side, and they finally come out and she is hugging my dad and after that I walk up behind her and tap her on t…

So the last travel post was about Turin, after which we drove all the way to Padua and after roaming around at night, eating ice cream
we came back to Tulip Inn, our hotel in Padua. After the complimentary breakfast, we set out to visit
San Antonio's shrine, the shrine where the tomb of St. Antony is located.
We celebrated mass in an adjoining chapel there,
We weren't allowed to take pictures in the main shrine, but I surreptitiously managed to take this one. After walking around and praying in this huge church, we then went to the shrine shop. Among all the places we visited, the stuff I've seen at the Padua shrine shop, is really good. One of the best places to shop for souvenirs, everything is so pretty and well made. I had visited Padua in 2013 with Antonio and Nameeta, and Antonio picked up a really cool looking black ring with the Our Father inscribed on it in Latin...
He rarely wears it, so I started wearing it...
Picked up this cream and chapstick at the Padua …
